**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE**NOTE** The mirror will only show an image when the vehicle is on and in reverse. The image will only be displayed for a maximum of about 2 minutes; after that it will shut off until the next time you put your vehicle in reverse. This is how these mirrors are designed, so as to prevent the LCD screen from overheating. Please see the separately provided information on how to remove wires from the mirror plug, as well as how to add new wires to the existing plug. Once you have added the video wires to positions 1 and 2 of your mirror plug, run the cable along the leading edge of the headliner, down the A-pillar (trim removal instructions appear later in this document), to the bottom of the dash. You will need to separately purchase and install a backup camera of your choice. This mirror works with just about any backup camera (be sure it is NTSC format though). You can power your camera from the reverse lights at the back of your truck, or you can run the camera power wires into the cab of your truck & connect them to the left electrical center connector X9 or X10 (see following pages) & then just ground the camera wherever convenient. The connector pinouts are provided as a courtesy; I cannot guarantee that these connection points are there and/or live, as there are numerous wiring variations on the trucks. Once you have run the camera’s video cable into the cab of your truck (a good place to do this is under the driver’s side carpet, via the parking brake cable rubber boot – cut a slit in it, push the video cable thru, seal the slit with polyurethane or butyl rubber caulk (don’t use silicone, latex, or acrylic caulk)), then plug the camera’s video cable into the mirror’s video cable. This cable is only for video; it does not provide power for your backup camera.

Either of the two highlighted terminals above can be used to power the rearview mirror (and backup camera if you so desire to connect your camera’s power wires here instead of at the reverse lights). This wire supplies power to the mirror when the ignition is on. This only applies to trucks that DO NOT have this wire in place in the existing mirror plug. If you do not find the highlighted wires in the plug, you will need to find an alternative wire that you can tap into that is hot only with the ignition on. For more information please consult your local GM dealer.

This only applies to trucks that DO NOT have this wire in place in the existing mirror plug. The backup camera can be powered from pin #8 of this connector (if you wish to connect your camera’s power wires here instead of at the reverse lights). If you do not find the highlighted wire in the plug, you will need to find an alternative wire that you can tap into that is hot only when your truck is put in reverse. For more information please consult your local GM dealer.
